Silver Scholars

There are few accomplishments for a high school junior that can compare to the annual University of Nevada, Reno spring program, which honors public and private high school juniors who rank academically in the top 10 percent of their class.

Special ceremonies are attended by Silver Scholars, their families and volunteers from the University of Nevada Alumni Association at high schools throughout the state. The Alumni Association presents each Silver Scholar with a new hardcover edition of Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and a Silver Scholar certificate.

More than 2,000 students will be recognized as recipients this year. In six years, the program has distributed more than 7,000 dictionaries and traveled more than 10,000 miles to honor some of the best and brightest Nevada high school juniors.
